Surprised By Sukesh Chandrasekhar’s 2026 Valentine's Day Gift to Jacqueline Fernandez? Know The Complete 'Claimed' List of Gifts Till Now

The saga between Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez and the incarcerated con man Sukesh Chandrasekhar has taken another surreal turn this Valentine's Day. Despite being lodged in Mandoli Jail, Sukesh has once again made headlines by claiming to have sent an extravagant gift, a customised Black Airbus H-Series Helicopter that most would find impossible to coordinate from behind bars.

As of February 14, 2026, the public fascination with the "Sukesh-Jacqueline" connection has reached a fever pitch. What started as a criminal investigation into a ₹200 crore extortion racket has evolved into a bizarre public spectacle, fueled by Sukesh’s relentless "love letters" and claims of high-value gifts. This Valentine’s Day, the con man has outdone himself, claiming to gift the actress a luxury aircraft, adding a new chapter to one of the most controversial celebrity-legal battles in recent Indian history.

The case originated in 2021 when the Delhi Police and the Enforcement Directorate (ED) investigated Sukesh Chandrasekhar for allegedly duping Aditi Singh, the wife of former Fortis Healthcare promoter Shivinder Singh of over ₹200 crore. Sukesh allegedly ran this extortion racket from inside Tihar Jail by impersonating high-ranking government officials.

During the probe, the ED discovered that a significant portion of the "proceeds of crime" was used to shower Jacqueline Fernandez with lavish gifts. While the actress maintains she was a victim of Sukesh's deception, believing he was a media mogul and a member of a prominent political family, the ED has named her an accused, alleging she knowingly benefited from the extorted money. Money Laundering Case: Supreme Court Dismisses Jacqueline Fernandez’s Plea To Quash INR 200 Crore Fraud Case Linked to Conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar.

Sukesh’s Claims of Gifts to Jacqueline Fernandez from Jail (2024–2026)

Since being imprisoned, Sukesh has sent several "love letters" claiming to have gifted even more astronomical assets. Note: None of these has been officially verified or seized by the ED as of yet.

Current Legal Status between Sukesh Chandrasekhar and Jacqueline Fernandez

The legal battle remains intense. In September 2025, the Supreme Court of India dismissed Jacqueline Fernandez's plea to quash the money laundering proceedings, directing her to face trial in the lower court. The court maintained that whether she was a victim or a willing recipient of the "proceeds of crime" is a matter of trial.

As of early 2026, the actress has moved the Delhi High Court to stop Sukesh from sending these letters, calling them "intimidatory" and a targeted attempt to ruin her professional reputation. While Sukesh continues his campaign of extravagant claims from his cell, the law continues to treat the confirmed gifts as evidence in a massive financial fraud.
